I had submitted this shot, but then thought better of it for several reasons so I unsubmitted it. I still like it alot though, so I made it today's PaD. It looks like I probably won't enter this challenge either. It's been awhile since I've had what I think is a good enough entry for something.

Unsubmitted Beauty entry

Wow, why not submit it. I love Iris's... it would have been a 10+ in my eyes.

Yes, you really should have submitted it. This is great work - love it! ;)

I liked it as well, although I would venture a couple of edits - could be sharpened a bit, and either add some contrast or drop the highlights/brightness a tad to tone down the front pedal some...it's almost overexposed.

Hey...it must be a Minolta thing! Minolta users unite for flower shots - I can see the headlines now. ;^) Well, ok - HP and Sony too. He-he.

It's already been reworked pretty well and doing much else to it I've found makes it appear overprocessed IMO. If this was to be any better, I do beleive it would have needed to have been a better photo out of the camera. One of the reasons I didn't submit it. I mean, I like it a lot...really do. I just don't think it's a stand out of any kind and not creative at all for the challenge. I expect it would have scored a solid 5 and I'm aiming higher than that.

If I don't think my challenge shot would earn a 6, I won't enter from now on I think. That sure doesn't mean it will get a six, but I am hoping to improve my overall scores. But I obviously liked it enough to share and to make it my PaD. Thanks for all the comments and I welcome any more.

Would you submit something that people have already seen? I have been debating about putting one of mine up that has been added to my portfolio and I don't know if its allowed. (well, it would be a little different. There are two in one where this would be coming from)

I know which one you are talking about... I would.

Irises are my favorite flower. That's a stunning image.
